Yeah it would be better still if we we had actual improved public transport systems for carry more people at once rather than automated personal vehicles, even if those automated personal vehicles are shared like taxis. The cost of automation and requirement for removing all other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and animals from the roads is immediately removed and the benefits obtained by reducing traffic is immediately realised just by using human driven buses and trains.
Why would it reduce traffic volume? The cars that are on the road are the ones that are currently in their hour of driving that day, it would more reduce the size of parking lots and parking space allocation, or at least move it to charging hubs away from where people congregate.
I don’t know that FlashMobOfOne needs to just apply a dystopian tv show to the only possibility of how they see it playing out. Other ideas are a thing, particularly if they are 100% signing up. Would they still 100% sign up if the copy gets the digital immortality but FlashMobOfOne still has to live on in their own skull regardless? If that’s the case why bother? You’d effectively create another person that is based on you but isn’t you, they’d think of themselves as you, but OEM hardware would probably still hold the rights to the title.
Ahh so the idea would be that the upload wipes the original so there arent multiple copies kicking around.
Seems like making new people would be difficult unless you made everyone keep a bio body until they had reached mental maturity and made more humans …
The digital immortality you want: living forever in a virtual paradise.
The digital immortality you get: you are recorded doing something stupid that ends any career or relationship potential and is never able to be removed from the internet.
In another aspect, what does uploading ones self look like and when is the upload taken? Do they kill the original body after taking the upload or is there a you living out their days stuck in the mortal husk while another you (possibly not the one you are) is off living it up in an immortal body or virtual paradise?
Sonic Chaos was pretty great
How could it do anything but?!
I don’t really remember the soundtrack, but I have found memories of playing MP3s while breaking shit (was it Winamp in the background or did you fill a dir full of the tracks you wanted and they just played?)
I think the reduction would be slight versus the reduction realised by improving the quality of existing human operated public transport like buses and trains. A mass transit system relying on individual automated cars is a tech bro brain fart.
